How to Prepare for Tattoo Appointments
Proper preparation for tattoo appointments will help your session go smoothly. Tattoos that take 3 to 8 hours or more require clients to be prepared to have a great session. As the artist, I want the tattoo experience to be as pleasant as possible. Here’s a few tips that you can take to properly prepare for your tattoo appointment.
TIPS FOR TATTOO APPOINTMENTS:
- Arrive calm, rested, and hydrated for a comfortable session
- Do not drink alcohol the night before to avoid hangovers or excessive bleeding
- Avoid Tylenol or medications that thin the blood, if possible, to limit excessive bleeding
- Bring no more than one friend to your appointment as a courtesy to your artist as crowds can be overwhelming and distracting
- Eat before your appointment so you can maintain blood sugar levels
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the area to be tattooed
- Feel free to bring headphones if it helps you relax
- Practice good hygiene and arrive clean as a courtesy to the artist
- Have fun and enjoy the process
